Outreach Sweden

Summary
The extrovert activities of The Swedish Psychoanalytic Association have been
expanded to open seminaries directed towards an interested public and also
an intentional and organized ambition to increase contact with the media.
Extensive work has also been pursued along the old channels. Examples are
the series of lectures on ”What is psychoanalysis?” – ”With psychoanalysis
from the cradle to the grave”, which has become somewhat of an institution,
and different forms of on-going cooperation with authorities and sister
organizations, which in a near future will be organized by a committee
within the board of the Swedish Psychoanalytic Association.

During 2011 an interview survey was conducted with members
and candidates in order to look at obstracting or facilitating processes and
phenomena concerning the work atmosphere in the society and the training
program.
